The Young One Health Forum is the central event for young researchers of the One Health Platform. It serves to promote networking and scientific exchange within the young One Health research community. The YOHF takes place annually at different locations in Germany. In 2026 it takes place at the HZI Braunschweig, Germany.
One Health research encompasses a wide range of research fields and thus also a wide range of different areas of activity and career opportunities. The Spring School 2026 of the One Health Platform is dedicated to various aspects of a career in the One Health context. What fields of activity are there? What skills are required?
Registration for the central consultation meeting (in english) regarding the current call for pilot projects of the One Health Platform (Deadline: April 7, 2026).

(Please ignore the inquiry regarding continuing education points in the registration form.)
Accompanying climate change and changes in land use and biodiversity are leading to changes in the spread of new infectious diseases. The early detection of environmental changes enables different aspects of healthcare to be taken into account, allowing a holistic approach to be adopted in line with the One Health concept.

The One Health Training Grants (OHTGs) are a funding format of the One Health Platform (OHP) that is specifically aimed at young scientists.
We are pleased to announce that we will be awarding four research scholarships (maximum duration 4 months) to early-career international scientists in 2026.
One Health research has many facets and is very diverse in its design. However, one characteristic is a prerequisite: the interdisciplinarity of the research projects, as One Health cannot be realised by one discipline alone. The Spring School 2025 of the One Health Platform on 25 March in Hanover was therefore dedicated to the topic of "Interdisciplinary Scientific Networking".
Is there a method you would like to learn in another laboratory? Would you like to collect research data together with collaborators at another institution? In these cases, a One Health Training Grant (OHTG) from the One Health Platform could help you.
One Health is a broad term. To bring this concept to life, scientists need to be introduced to the concept at an early career stage in order to lay the foundations for the future of One Health.
Gaining knowledge in science is a slow and tough process that is characterized by a multitude of errors, new beginnings and revisions. Misconceptions, according to which research moves purposefully from a given assumption towards a new knowledge that is valid for all time, often lead to misunderstandings between society, politics and science. However, dealing with failures can also be a challenge for young scientists, especially if the topic is taboo or expectations are particularly high.
The International One Health Symposium will take place in Berlin, Germany, from 17 - 19.10.2024.
Dear members of the One Health Platform, dear One Health researchers,
We would like to inform you that it is now possible to submit applications for funding for pilot projects under the umbrella of the One Health Platform (OHP) until April 12, 2024.
